About

Saint John’s Program for Real Change, located in Sacramento, California, supports women in crisis and their children through a comprehensive 12-month residential program developed to help them build a successful new life for themselves and their families.

Since 1985, Saint John’s has given more than 30,000 formerly homeless women and children the essential tools to change the trajectory of their lives. But real change is never easy.
